I had my first experience with an e-book on our train trip. Levi didn't want us to haul a bunch of books in our luggage so he downloaded books for us. The first one I read was Not Another Superhero by Tara Lynn Thompson. I was hooked on this book from the beginning.
It's about a girl named Samantha Addison. She is a single woman who works in journalism. The book starts with her getting mugged. I immediately loved the dialog between Samantha and her mugger. She was very sarcastic and nonchalant about the whole thing while speaking to him. The mugger plays along for awhile and then decides to shoot her. The bullet doesn't kill her and Samantha can't figure out why she isn't dead.
After the mugging, other things start happening to her. She always comes out alive thanks to the help of a co-worker named Jackson Christy and a mysterious hooded superhero. Samantha is put under police protection, but always finds a way to create more trouble for herself.
I found myself laughing in some parts about how sarcastic and crazy she is. I also felt sad for her and the other characters in other parts. She kept reminding me of Stephanie Plum in some parts of the book.
The unveiling of the "superhero" was not a surprise to me, but some information in the epilogue was. I will definitely be reading the 2nd book when it comes out to see what happens.
Currently Reading: When I'm Gone by Emily Bleeker
